How To Make Your Own Coffee Pods for Pennies 

Same here ! Can only get pods on Amazon via Netherlands which is fine :)

Damn right sir! We here at Pods for Pennies appreciate your continued allegiance to the Senseo machine. Each and every like is a penny saved. I'm certain you'd agree, that every penny counts

Steve Kaercher Dutch route, DE, Senseo is cheaper then the bean they sell, using less good bean, nobody cares..... How to make essprosso cups i need to know, i hate Senseo myself, and hate to clean the Piston thing too

I dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my password. I love any assistance you can give me!

@Azariah Josiah instablaster ;)

+Priscilla Beaujon The Pods 4 Pennies team appreciate your kind words. There are a few other instructional videos available here on RU-vid, but we noticed the clear lack of production value and scripting. We decided that if we were to put together a video of our own, it would be not only a product we believed in, but a product we were proud of.

Naturally I spilt my cup of pennies when you said I was using instant coffee!!! Your inability to observe a 6 minute video is overshadowed by your complete lack of humor

I'll forward your comments to Josh. Even though the piece is focused on coffee, we consumed a lot of alcohol during its 2009 production. Thanks :)

Lucas, you are the bees knees my dude. I give all credit to wisted and his amazing screenwriting abilities, as well as hiring a skilled animator and sound engineer for the project. Was certainly one of my favorite life experiences

Thanks Mondo 357 for the feedback. Josh is at another pod conference until next weekend, but I'll pass your review along to him. Perhaps he can address your question about the grind setting you mentioned.

Thanks!

Glad you love it, thanks for noticing!

Amy, On behalf of the P4P team, thank you for your continued support and appreciation. And remember: every penny counts!

Thank you so much sir. Be sure to post your results or follow up with another comment!

GOOD MORNING...THANK YOU FOR WATCHING PODS FOR PENNIES....FROM WESTERN ILLINIOS.................

We done that all day every day... man.

You're awesome James!

It's a Senseo by Philips if I'm not mistaken. This video was shot in 2009 originally, and back then the top dog in pod coffee was not yet Keurig with their now-ubiquitous Pods. While a changing of the guard has occurred in the last 13 years, we feel our video is still relevant which is why we've never updated the content. Josh still travels extensively across the globe educating others on his special penny-saving technique, and my last conversation with him was just a few days ago as he left a coffee pod convention with thousands of attendees. He typically is very generous and willing to dispense signatures as well as advice if you happen to corner him at the next convention.

What's better than a frothy cup?

Thanks, and this is why I always read the comments first 📑 👀 🖒

Thank you so much. Boring with bla bla bla!

+DeCranium Thank you cheers

Laurent, Knowing-it-all is important when it comes to making your own pods for less. Here at Pods 4 Pennies, we live by the mantra "every penny counts." Therefore, we tried to limit the amount of takes in our video. While we do have a hilarious outtake reel, we tried to get most of it completed in one shot. I definitely agree with the two additions you provided. A good clean cut of the filter is absolutely essential. And high quality, freshly ground coffee is paramount. Thanks for your support!

What up Brenda! With our money saving technique you're free to use any sized filter you have on the shelf. Just don't forget to snip snip

Lisa Smyth YW Lisa. :)

Paper filters cost less than $3 for a pack of 100

How many pennies equal a gold bar? The entire pods4pennies crew wants to know for the next episode

Hannah Springs it won't work with K-Cup Keurig machines but you can a reusable filter to use your own grounds. Remember, every penny counts!

Yeah buddy ... CUT TO THE MONEY SAVING TECHNIQUE.

​@WuTangghost0007 I got mine on eBay

SNL doesn't have 6 minute sketches from my understanding. They also don't have a money saving technique involving coffee and pennies, but guess what? We do

I will personally relay your question to Josh, who is currently undergoing an invasive surgery to reconstruct what was originally expected to be a misaligned hip but turned out to be much, much worse. The misstep happened during a routine shower, although his system was rife with an abundance of substances influencing a depressive effect on his nervous system. This unfortunately led to a wicked fall that ruptured and fractured his spine and punctured his bladder in two places. Upon visiting him at the hospital prior to his first of several procedures, he told me to keep an eye on the comments for this video, as he has been preparing a follow-up for many years. This video, he laboriously whispered to me as the IV drip of painkilling narcotics entered his bloodstream, would be focused entirely on Tassimo cups, and how to make your own. I only hope he pulls through for the reunion.

@@wisted Sending positive vibes for a speedy recovery!♥️

Dearest Lauraine, thanks for your wishes to a speedy recovery. It appears that my method involving Pods 4 Pennies is only to be followed verbatim. I would also recommend using only coffee in said pods, as specific noncoffee related substances don't jive well after ingested orally

It's a classic Philips Senseo HD 7810. A relic of time and yet timeless

I feel that with the username yeetplyr there must be an innuendo involved, but it's not a recommended tactic to leave a hole in the bottom of the pad. Holes lead to unnecessary seepage and chunky matter not prescribed for drinking

where do you buy your pods

Emexrulsier Thr Godfather of coffee pod hacks, Josh, has been known to freeze excess gourmet grounds in airtight ziplock baggies until they're ready for enjoyment. This extends their shelf life from two weeks to twelve months.

Never store coffee in the fridge. Better in a dry cool place. Store in dark glass jar. I've been grinding and brewing coffee for over 50 years and never had bad coffee. It lasts a long time.

niacal4nia Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late reply. I've forwarded your question to our coffee pod expert, and he should be replying shortly.

wisted IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHHSSSSSSSSS. THIS IS NOT SHORTLY!!!!!

I apologize for the delay, as I was at an extended coffee pod conference. In regards to the Safeway French Roast, I'll admit that I was far less of a coffee bean aficionado during the shoot, than I am today. I use a fresh ground Guatemalan light roast nowadays. And since I use high quality coffee, I only make one cup; therefore, I would not have any use for a drip coffee maker. The drip coffee makers are more of a necessity when brewing more than one cup. The pod coffee makers are far more nimble at single cups. This way, the perfectly heated water is able to wrap its love around each and every coffee ground. Thanks for the inquiries and remember, every penny counts. JD Dorothy Longbottom

+Joshua DeCrane I have a Delonghi EC330s and i have been using ESE pods for few years now. Most that i buy come individually sealed hence their life is not an issue. That Maybe a problem for tassimo or senseo pod using machines. However Using two pods to pull two shots still feels like a little hassle and I try and avoid the loose ground coffee to avoid the mess and also because ese pods are just so convenient. Lately I have been thinking about using this method to make a 14g double shot ese pods for my machine. Do you think it will work ? since I cannot find a ese size 44mm 14g pods

niacal4nia

John Gustafson Josh is thrilled to hear of your enthusiasm. I believe he's at another pod conference until the weekend, but I would expect a reply from him soon.

Nice!

Due to the wild success of our money saving technique, I understand your inability to acquire a high end Senseo coffee machine. Luckily for you, we've been able to tactically procure and stockpile an off-grid RV full of Senseo machines. Please provide a location and I'll personally deliver the device at your convenience

@@joshuadecrane5800 wow, are you single?

puppycat412 Every penny counts, Puppycat412, and so does your opinion. On behalf of the entire P4P team, we appreciate your feedback!

Or do you live in foreign country:D ?

Not by a long shot. Let me have Josh pipe in on this one, and perhaps he can update the original flow chart to better reflect the times. 😬

@@wisted Jaja ja ja 😂😂 You're be pop Marley of the year 😂

Think this gona be a hot toppic because of it.😉

According to popular literature, The Notorious B.I.G. famously said "Mo Money, Mo Problems." Luckily here at the Pods 4 Pennies luxury motorhome were here to reverberate that in this climate, less is more

Without knowing the model number and revision (if applicable) along with any recent mods you've performed on your espresso maker, we cannot be 100% sure that this popular coffee hack cannot be performed on your unit. Can you please upload several high resolution photos from a variety of angles of your device so that our resident pod expert Joshua can examine it and make a proper assessment? We do this free of charge. It's the least we can do with his overabundance of caffeinated and frenzied energy, especially this time of year when there are fewer pod conferences for him to attend.

Decent espresso machine starts $1200. Make a lot of pods for that!

@@curtisstewart9594 but not same coffee at the end😉

@@curtisstewart9594 I'm embarrassed to have only seen this comment today, eight months after you published it. You're absolutely correct; a decent espresso machine is $1200 while many can exceed ten grand. These are Italian models with finnicky valves and needlessly complex engineering that often go on the fritz. With flagging support due to COVID-19 economic pressure, it's safe to say your designer espresso machine may be out of service more often than not. Think of the machine like you would an Alfa Romero. The car is known for its extended stays in the shop, and while it provides an abundance of pleasure when in service, you still need transportation on a daily basis. This is where making your own pods continues to make sense, and the math truly works in your favor. Save the $1200, learn to do options trading, and sip cups of splendid roasted beans for pennies a day, like Josh intended.

The demonstration provided in the Pods 4 Pennies video is a representation of the rock bottom prices one can expect. I will absolutely agree that whole bean, small batch is best in terms of quality and storing it in your freezer will keep things fresh. I would like to add that even with the extra cost, it's still far cheaper than buying boxed pods from the store.

@@joshuadecrane5800 freezing coffee actually degrades it more then helps it...see www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/03/24/store-coffee-freezer_n_6923568.html

Agreed: a fool and their money are soon parted.. Unless they practice my exclusive Pods for Pennies method!!!

Dear Sir, I would like to commend you on your financial success, however, we here at Pods 4 Pennies are a little confused. If you did possess an endless supply of cash, why you would even click on the video in the first place? While we are happy you have enough loot to purchase pods, but we also think that you should perhaps consider your impact on the environment. Nevertheless, thanks for contributing to our view count!!!

@@joshuadecrane5800 i love you man

Mr. Mats, Pods 4 Pennies here again. Once again we appreciate your "timely" insights into one of our first video collaborations, circa 2009. We sincerely wish you possessed a time machine to travel back to 2009 and magically grant us early graduates some real ground breaking knowledge into film-making. While you were still rolling in Scrooge McDuck cash a decade ago, we were shooting cheap instructional videos for people in a similar financial situation as us. To show our deep regret for botching one of Mr. Mats all-time-no-no's, we will hit the local community college this weekend to tell those punks not to "film with a light in the background pointing into the camera!!!". I'm sure they'll appreciate it as much as we did!

I'd have to discuss with Josh - what is an Aeropress?

More like Aerofartsinyourmouth

Uh, Earth to Cardinal Stupid, this is called Pods 4 Pennies, not Pods 4 Dollars

At Pods 4 Pennies, we strive to provide quality information along with a quality product. You can simply skip to 3:37 for the demonstration, however, we hope you stick around for a little entertainment as well

We hear at Pods for Pennies get it. Talk is cheap. You know what else should be cheap? Your coffee!

Dang. That wasn't the purpose of this endeavor in the slightest. What improvements would you like to see in a Pods for Pennies redo?

Hold on there Ben.................. You're telling me there's an easier and cheaper way to brew, yet you stumbled upon a video titled Pods for Pennies on accident? Thinking you need the provided material more than I do
